The most common roadway resurfacing methods in
H.O.A. developments are asphalt or concrete systems. Both types of
systems will develop defects if designed or installed incorrectly.
Common Types:
-
AC Paving (Asphaltic Concrete Paving):
Typically black or dark brown in color.
-
PCC (Portland Cement Paving): Similar to
sidewalks and driveways but made of higher strength
materials and installed in thicker sections.
-
Stamped Concrete: Usually decorative,
sometimes different color.
Common Problems:
-
Improper design: Asphalt/concrete mixture
not per specifications.
-
Installation deficiencies: Varying in
thickness.
-
Asphalt overheated before installation.
-
Asphalt too cold before installation.
-
Concrete too dry/wet before installation.
-
Lack of steel reinforcement.
Possible Damage:
-
Cracks, alligatoring, and cheecks leading to
water intrusion to subgrade.
-
Subsidence.
-
Vertical displacement.
-
Washboard surface.
-
System failure.
